[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1657330, member: 25884"] If he was mine and I liked him, I would retest. Are you trying for a certain calving window? Put him in and then put in a different bull (breed) 30 days later.... the calf crop will be the proof. We had an older bull that had tested fine, several years of 99% calving success and all of a sudden saw cows coming into heat. Pulled him out, put 2 other bulls in and got him tested. Blanks.... who knows why. Sent him down the road. But he was older.....maybe got injured? no apparant reason. It got the cows late calving that season, and all were bred within a 30 day window......calves showed 10 to the black bull and 3 to the red bull. It happens. [/QUOTE]
